Title 42 - JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE
Chapter 85 - Matters Affecting Government Units
8525 - Legal assistance.

     § 8525.  Legal assistance.
        When an action is brought under this subchapter against an
     employee of the Commonwealth government, and it is alleged that
     the act of the employee which gave rise to the claim was within
     the scope of the office or duties of the employee, the
     Commonwealth through the Attorney General shall defend the
     action, unless the Attorney General determines that the act did
     not occur within the scope of the office or duties of the
     employee. In the latter case, if it is subsequently determined
     that the act occurred within the scope of the office or duties
     of the employee, the Commonwealth shall reimburse the employee
     for the expense of his legal defense in such amounts as shall be
     determined to be reasonable by the court. If an action is
     brought against a Commonwealth government employee for damages
     on account of injury to a person or property and it is not
     alleged that the act of the employee which gave rise to the
     claim was within the scope of his office or duties, and he
     successfully defends the action on the basis that the act was
     within the scope of his office or duties, and he has given prior
     notice to the Attorney General and the Attorney General has
     refused to defend the action, he shall likewise be entitled to
     the reasonable expenses of the defense.
